REVIEWS AND COMMENTS

“Refreshingly different from a lot of stuff that's out there.” – Past and Present

“Nothing like a Bipolar genius to catch my ear." - Ed (New York)

"This quirky experimental album was written and recorded in a month, although it came out better than some albums people spend a year on. Very interesting sounds and unique vocals make this something you want to listen to several times just to discover all that is there. Melodic and quite original." -Daisy Riprock - Austin Daze review of My Heroic Cadences

"He never tries to overly impress by playing what seem to be relatively simple tunes; the layers, when picked back, reveal the complexities...Ranging from soulful acoustic rock to the type of apartment rock that is often labeled "genius"…there are times when you feel almost reassured that there's more than one person behind this madness; perhaps he's suffering from a mental disorder" - Smother.net

"This act's sound is tough to neatly summarize. But (Flipping The Pig) will likely make you smile, although you may not know exactly why." - Indie-Music.com - Dan MacIntosh

"It's been quite a while since anything this diverse has come across my desk. This is thinking out of box both lyrically and musically speaking… It's a mixed bag of anything a little heady, mystifying, or all out strange and eerie." - Muen Magazine

“Because Mansk jumps stylistically between each song it is difficult to pinpoint or pigeonhole Flipping The Pig. The jumps feel natural, even welcome, like you're meeting different characters to a greater story” – James Curtis, special to NewsLink

"Your one-stop-pop-shop-songster. So many influences, yet a sound that merges said influences into his own" - Mike, St. Louis

*****************************************************

Flipping The Pig was referenced in Speigel Online (Germany's leading music resource) in an article about Radiohead. The album, Giving It To Myself, was listed alongside Wilco and The Beastie Boys as one of 7 notable free album downloads worldwide!

*****************************************************

It's the culmination of a lifetime spent listening to a wide variety of music as filtered through a chunky guy sitting in his pajamas and doing whatever comes to him. i.e. Flipping The Pig is probably not the easiest band to pigeonhole.

But, wait, didn't that Flipping The Pig guy just release the album You Get The Idea in November? Why yes. Yes he did. But that's no reason to avoid the release of another one on February 29. After all, only once every four years and all that.

My Heroic Cadences was mostly written and all recorded in February of 2008 for the rpm.com challenge. It retains the odd and chaotic spirit of past releases, but this time with no electric guitars and no bass. It wasn't a conscious decision; they simply weren't plugged in.

Stylistically pulling from many different sources (pop, new wave, folk, jazz, electronic, rock, showtunes, etc.), there's a lyrical cohesiveness that prevails on the mood of the new album. The songs exhibit a late night feel with overtones of loss, confusion, redemption, paranoia, hope, as well as the coolness of getting Eddie Deezen's autograph. There's the goblin-like choir on 'The Ripple', the moody solo piano of 'The Conversationalist', the groggy 'Periphery', the mid-tempo new wave pop of 'Let A Moment Pass', the acoustic creepiness of the aptly-titled 'The Creeper,' as well as 'Preset' -- his very first dance song. (He was watching a lot of Queer As Folk at the time and channeled his inner Bronski Beat.)

Go listen. Go download. Go make copies and/or tell your friends and enemies. It's free, as are the previous four albums. As they have been since all this wonderful crap began in 2003.

Many thanks for the add!

You win! I'm going to bake you a great big angry cake. Or something. I suppose I could retract the pants blog, but now it's sort of a cautionary tale for future parties and/or people who wear pants. Also, your music is very pretty and nice, although to be fair I've had Tony Orlando blaring on the headphones this entire time. I assume you sound just like Tony Orlando.
Good for you!
